On This Day - 1938 - German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jewish people their homes and business in Germany and Austria leaving at least 100 dead and over 30 000 arrested and sent to concentration camps. This provided the prelude to the Holocaust in Germany. Over 100 000 German Jews left Germany realizing that they would not be safe. The world powers were outraged by what the Nazis had done but the strongest they did was to break off diplomatic relations which allowed Nazis to commit the mass murder of 6 million European Jews during the Holocaust.
